True it is, as you say, 1God is one, and is not Changed. And his Word endureth for ever. But the Change is in you, and not in God. God's Word is the Word of Life: your Word is the Word of Vanity. God the Father hath not planted it: Therefore it shall be plucked up by the roots. God saith by the Prophet Malachi: The lips of the Priest shall keep knowledge: 2and the people shall require the Law at his mouth. For he is the Angel of the Lord of Hostes. Vos autem recessistis de Via, &c. But you are gone back from the Way: you have offended many a one in the Law: you have broken the Covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of Hosts. And therefore have I made you to be despised.
True it is, as you saie, 1God is one, and is not Changed. And his Woorde endureth for euer. But the Change is in you, and not in God. Goddes Woorde is the Woorde of Life: your Woorde is the Woorde of Vanitie. God the Father hath not planted it: Therefore it shalbe plucked vp by the rootes. God saithe by the Prophete Malachie: The lippes of the Prieste shal keepe knowledge: 2and the people shal require the Lawe at his mouthe. For he is the Angel of the Lorde of Hostes. Vos autem recessistis de Via, &c. But you are gonne backe from the VVaie: you haue offended many a one in the Lavve: you haue broken the Couenante of Leui, saith the Lord of Hostes. And therefore haue I made you to be despised.
